Configurations

Local Environment (LINUX or MacOS)

Execute the command XSOAR: Install XSOAR local development environment. This will install local development environment with demisto-sdk and will configure the demisto-sdk with XSOAR. If Homebrew is available, you can choose to install any of python, poetry, node, docker or pyenv.

Remote Environment (All OS)

Or you can follow this guide to configure a fully configured remote development environnement, with demisto-sdk and more features preinstalled.

Configure XSOAR connection

This will configure .env file with the following environment variables:

• DEMISTO_BASE_URL (XSOAR URL)
• DEMISTO_USERNAME (XSOAR username)
• DEMISTO_PASSWORD (XSOAR password)
• DEMISTO_API_KEY (XSOAR API key)
• XSIAM_AUTH_ID (XSOAR/XSIAM Auth ID) (Relevant for XSOAR 8/XSIAM)
• DEMISTO_VERIFY_SSL (Verify SSL in XSOAR, true or false)

Configure XSOAR unit tests

The extension supports configuring the integration/script unit tests.

When working on an integration or a script, you can right click on it, and click on Configure XSOAR unit tests. This will configure the XSOAR unit-tests to run and debug them in the _test.py to run from the test file or from the Test Explorer:

If you there is a Pytest discovery error, there is a probably missing dependencies. Either install the missing dependencies, or use Setup integration/script environment with new workspace instead.

Setup integration/script environment

The extension supports configuring integration/script environment.

When working on an integration or a script, you can right click on it, and click on Setup integration/script environment.

This will configure debugging and testing the integration/script in a Docker container.

To execute the integration/script in the container, you can use the Run button in the top right corner of the editor, and select Debug in docker option. To execute the integration/script tests in the container, you can use the Run button in the top right corner of the editor, and select Debug tests in docker option.

You will be prompted to choose between current workspace or a new workspace. Opening a new workspace will create a new virtual environment with the integration/script dependencies installed, and will open a new VSCode workspace with the integration/script folder. This will allow better IDE autocompletion, but the creation of virtual environment may take a few minutes.

This is the recommended way to develop and debug your integration.

Python 2.* Support

Using a Python 2.* virtual environnement or container, mypy will not be able to be installed.

For debugging the tests, it is necessary to install The VSCode Python extension version 2022.2:
